.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
To update only partial components of a keyboard description, modify the
appropriate fields in the server and map components of a local copy of the
keyboard description, then call
.I XkbChangeMap
with an XkbMapChangesRec structure indicating which components have changed.
.I XkbChangeMap
copies any components specified by the
.I changes
structure from the keyboard description,
.I xkb,
to the X server specified by
.I dpy.
If any components specified by
.I changes
are not present in the
.I xkb
parameter,
.I XkbChangeMap
returns False. Otherwise, it sends a request to the server and returns True.
.I XkbChangeMap
can generate BadAlloc, BadLength, and BadValue protocol errors.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.TP 15
True
The XkbChangeMap function returns True if the components specified by
.I changes
are present in the
.I xkb
parameter.
.TP 15
False
The XkbChangeMap function returns False if the components specified by
.I changes
are not present in the
.I xkb
parameter.
.SH STRUCTURES
.LP
Use the XkbMapChangesRec structure to identify and track partial modifications
to the mapping components and to reduce the amount of traffic between the server
and clients.
